MS-DEFCON 4: Side effects for dual booters

ISSUE 21.35.1 • 2024-08-27

By Susan Bradley

Secure Boot is causing — once again — side effects for Windows patchers.

The August updates are triggering issues for those who dual-boot into Linux. Because this is unlikely to affect very many users, and because the IPv6 bug I alerted you to ten days ago is now well understood, I feel that lowering the MS-DEFCON level to 4 is safe.

That assumes you do not ignore the IPv6 matter.

Anyone can read the full MS-DEFCON Alert (21.35.1, 2024-08-27).
